I’m A Celebrity stars will eat pig’s head


The contestants on the new series of ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ will have to eat pig’s head as part of a Bushtucker Trial.

Show bosses are upping the ante for the eating trial this year and as well as kangaroo penis, turkey testicles, fish eyes and live witchetty grubs the menu will include the sick-inducing swine snack.

Pig’s head has already been tried out on the German version of the reality series, and contestant Jochen Bendel insists the dish didn’t taste as bad as it looks.

He said: "It’s tough and flabby but tastes like pork."

Ostrich anus and goat testicles are also set to be served to the stars who get voted to compete in the Bushtucker Trial to win food for their camps.

As well as making that trial more disgusting, bosses are reportedly planning to ration the meals for camp and make the general experience in the Australian jungle even more tough.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "We’re cranking it up a notch. On top of the usual Bushtucker Trials, they will also have to face a lack of food, unpredictable weather and endless hours of pure boredom."

Among the celebrities rumoured to be taking part in this year’s show – hosted by Ant and Dec – are presenter Melanie Sykes, TV chef Rustie Lee and ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star Gemma Collins.
